The first big step in personal finance isn’t a budget or an app — it’s deciding to change.
Once that’s in place, everything else becomes doable.
Start by tracking what you earn and what you spend. A simple budget gives you a clear picture of where your money actually goes and where small cuts can free up space.
From there, build your emergency fund, pay down your debt, and then use the money you free up to start investing — whether it’s the amount you saved or what you used to put toward debt payments.
Where are you on this path right now?
